A hiker walks 20.51 m at 33.16 degrees. What is the Y component of his displacement?

Physics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Components of the displacement</u>

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

x=r\cos\theta

The vertical component is calculated by:

y=r\sin\theta

The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:

y=20.51\sin(33.16^\circ)

y=11.22\ m

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

You are coasting on your 12-kg bicycle at 13 m/s and a 5.0-g bug splatters on your helmet. The bug was initially moving at 1.5 m
Brut [27]

Answer:

a) Pi,c = 1066 kgm/s

b) Pi,b = 0.0075 kgm/s  

c) ΔV = - 0.0007 m/s

d) ΔV = - 0.0008 m/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of the bicycle, mc = 12 kg

- The mass of passenger, mp = 70 kg

- The mass of the bug, mb = 5.0 g

- The initial speed of the bicycle, vpi = 13 m/s

- The initial speed of the bug, vbi = 1.5 m/s

Find:-

a.What is the initial momentum of you plus your bicycle?

b.What is the initial momentum of the bug?

c.What is your change in velocity due to the collision the bug?

d.What would the change in velocity have been if the bug were traveling in the opposite direction?

Solution:-

- First we will set our one dimensional coordinate system, taking right to be positive in the direction of bicycle.

- The initial linear momentum (Pi,c) of the passenger and the bicycle would be:

                       Pi,c = vpi* ( mc + mp)

                       Pi,c = 13* ( 12+ 70 )

                       Pi,c = 1066 kgm/s  

- The initial linear momentum (Pi,b) of the bug would be:

                       Pi,b = vbi*mb

                       Pi,b = 0.005*1.5

                       Pi,b = 0.0075 kgm/s  

- We will consider the bicycle, the passenger and the bug as a system in isolation on which no external unbalanced forces are acting. This validates the use of linear conservation of momentum.

- The bicycle, passenger and bug all travel in the (+x) direction after the bug splatters on the helmet.

                       Pi = Pf

                       Pi,c + Pi,b = V*(mb + mc + mp)

Where,    V : The velocity of the (bicycle, passenger and bug) after collision.

                      1066 + 0.0075 = V*( 0.005 + 12 + 70 )

                      V = 1066.0075 / 82.005

                      V = 12.9993 m/s

- The change in velocity is Δv = 13 - 12.9993 =  - 0.00070 m/s      

- If the bug travels in the opposite direction then the sign of the initial momentum of the bug changes from (+) to (-).

- We will apply the linear conservation of momentum similarly.

                      Pi = Pf

                      Pi,c + Pi,b = V*(mb + mc + mp)        

                      1066 - 0.0075 = V*( 0.005 + 12 + 70 )

                      V = 1065.9925 / 82.005

                      V = 12.99911 m/s

- The change in velocity is Δv = 13 - 12.99911 =  -0.00088 m/s

What is the distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond?
ZanzabumX [31]
The correct answer is (a.) a parsec. A parsec is a distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond. This unit of measurement is usually used in astronomy which makes it easier for astronomers to calculate or measure in space accurately.

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

A 1000-turn solenoid is 50 cm long and has a radius of 2.0 cm. It carries a current of 18.0 A. What is the magnetic field inside
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The value  is  B =  0.0452 \  T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The number of turns is  N  =  1000

    The length is  L =  50 cm =  0.50 m  

    The radius is  r =  2.0 cm  =  0.02 m

     The current is I  =  18.0 A

   

Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

         B = \mu_o  * \frac{N }{L}  *  I

Here \mu_o is the permeability of free space with value  

     \mu_o  =  4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2

So

     B =  4\pi * 10^{-7}  *   \frac{1000}{0.50} *  18.0

=>   B =  0.0452 \  T

If a population of 1,000 individuals has 160 rr genotypes, what is the frequency of the rr genotype?
lesya692 [45]
The frequency of a genotype is how often it occurs. This can be obtained by:
number of occurrences / total population
= 160 / 1000
= 0.16 or 16%
